Abstract: Non-alcoholic fatty liver disease and its complications are frequent causes of liver-related morbidity and mortality. Incretin glucagon-like peptide-1 (GLP-1) affects liver functions and metabolism. Although GLP-1 analogues are widely used in clinical practice, information regarding their potential toxic effect on hepatocytes in vitro is missing. Therefore, we evaluated the effect of GLP-1 analogue liraglutide on activity of caspases 3/7, cell viability and oxidative stress in primary cultures of hepatocytes. Primary cultures isolated from male Wistar rats fed a standard (ST1-group, 10% energy from fat) or a high-fat diet (HF-group, 71% fat) for 10 weeks were incubated with liraglutide (0.1–1000 nmol/l) for 24 h. Activities of caspases 3/7 and cellular dehydrogenases (WST-1), lactate dehydrogenase (LDH) leakage and oxidative stress (malondialdehyde concentration and DCFDA assay) were evaluated. HF-groups vs. ST1-groups showed higher caspases activity, LDH leakage and MDA production (p
